Design a simple circuit with a diode where the input voltage varies, and determine the output voltage for different input scenarios, especially focusing on the diode's state.
💡 Hint: Identify the state of the diode for each input to determine its behavior.
Given a diode with a cut-in voltage of 0.7V and a resistor of 1k ohm in series, calculate the current for different input voltages (e.g., 0V, 1V, 2V).
💡 Hint: Remember to consider when the diode begins to conduct.
